The amount of bickering and hostility going on with the CM12.1 forum here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-lg-g3/orig-development/cyanogenmod-12-beta-ls990-t2958197 is outrageous.
Please stop, this is how forums get closed.
Yours truly, Flynn.

I am here to help in anyway I can, so please contact me if you have any suggestions, problems, comments, etc. with this forum. While I cannot promise you will get an immediate resolution, or that I will be able to act on every suggestion, I can promise it will receive my attention.
With that being said, please take a moment to review XDA forum rules. Anyone found intentionally violating these rules will be punished.
The most important "rule" I urge you not to forget is, HAVE FUN and BE COURTEOUS! Thank you and I look forward to keeping "ORDer" and "Peace" throughout the forum.
Thinking of posting a new thread???
Use the search button on the top bar between "New Posts" and "Quick Links"
Threads posted in the wrong fora will be moved initially; however, for repeat offenders, the moderating team will look to take action to rectify the situation in a manner it believes is appropriate
WITHOUT FURTHER NOTICE.
It is the responsibility of all users to keep the fora organized and clean. We need you to do your bit to keep things orderly.
REPORT THEM
To the dedicated members that care to keep this forum, sub forums included, clean and organized and grouped.
Please start reporting threads to the mods to take action. Please use the REPORT button to do so.
Thank You and happy easy searching.

Aight look. We have a Q&A section now, and I ask that all questions be posted in that section. This is a well known rule, and a simple one to boot.
But, that isn't what this thread is about. No, this thread is about FLAMING OTHER USERS FOR POSTING IN THE WRONG SECTION. Simply put, the amount of flaming that goes on for people posting in the wrong section is ASTOUNDING.
From this point on(4/16/2011) any and all threads that are flame wars will be closed, and the people doing the flaming will be issued infractions. These will all start as yellow cards, IE warnings that expire and do not go against your profile. If you continue to flame, they will escalate to red cards, which DO go against your profile and CAN and WILL lead to a ban, which may be permanent.
I honestly do not want to be posting this thread. But this has just gone too far.
IF someone posts in the wrong section, a polite "please post in the correct section", a short answer and a report to me is all that is required and expected. Please note that when you report a post it goes to me and the senior moderators and administrators. I have also made it so that I will now receive PM's directly to my phone so that I can get things resolved faster.
If you go into a thread that is in the wrong section, and the OP has already been told this, DO NOT add to the post, rather send me a PM with the link/info or click the REPORT POST button.
To the point folks-the flaming is out of control. I am partly to blame for enforcing that questions be posted in the Q&A section and completely realize this, but in order to keep this forum clean the Q&A rule will remain to be a rule.
This thread is closed. If you have any comments or concerns regarding this matter, please PM me.
Thanks-saur.
I have moved this thread to the top of the Stickies to give it some much deserved extra attention.
[30.5.2012]***READ THIS*** ★★★Operation Clean-Up★★★ A message to the REZOUND users!
After getting assigned to this forum yesterday, I handled my first report. It was to clean up a thread that had off-topic and disrespecting posts. I thought I would delete maximum 10 posts, but I ended up at 93 posts!
After looking at other threads, I saw that most of the users have misunderstood the meaning of the android development threads. In the threads people SHALL discuss the ROMs, what's working and what's not working. The threads are not there to discuss other users and their actions.
Operation Clean-Up
After talking to my Moderator friends, we decided that the whole Rezound - Android forum needs cleaning.
I will from this day go trough the threads in android-dev and clean up off-topic and other posts that are breaking the rules.
Under the process of the cleaning, the thread will have a "thread closed for cleaning" picture at the first page and I will leave a post containing the link to this thread.
I ask all of you to keep reporting off-topic/posts that are breaking the rules, because going trough over 200 threads will take a while, so reporting will speed up the process.
Lets keep the forums clean and let the development continue
YZ.
Update
Just to make one thing clear, the purpose of this "cleanup" is not to make the forums change to a dictator looking thing... But to make the threads clean.
Remember, off-topic posts in Android-Dev threads turns to disrespectful and flaming posts.
You can of course post how happy you are about the rom and that you appreciate the work by the dev, but if you agree with a user's post, there's no need for a post saying "+1". Just hit the thanks button
If you're bored and absolutely have to post something off-topic, head over to the off-topic thread which was made for the rezound users.
Don't like the thread? PM me your off-topic post. I don't have anything against a little conversation between a user
YZ.
i have made an off topic at OT forum since we got closed the original..
thread originally made by predator95.

Hello everyone,
the moderating team assigned to your forum has decided to no longer allow any offtopic threads whether those were previously sanctioned by moderators or not.
We have come to this decision due to the fact that those threads offer absolutely nothing to the device specific forum or to development in general.
After all the name of the site is xda-developers.
If you feel the urge to engage in any offtopic discussion, the offtopic forum is always at your disposal.
As such, this thread is now closed.
Please understand that this decision was made only to streamline the forums and to enhance the user experience.
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation,
Tom
Moderator for the Sony/Motorola/LG devices
Hello!
A warm welcome to both new and existing members to these Forums. These look to be exciting products, and I am really hoping to see a great community spring up here. As we like to do with a new forum, we like to introduce ourselves. The moderating team assigned to this forum include:
Team Leader/Senior Moderator @Moscow Desire
Forum Moderators @LenAsh, @cybojenix, @Divine_Madcat
I would like to take a moment to reiterate the overall guidelines of the forum, in the hope of preventing issues down the line...
1. Posting in the Development Forum. Creating new threads in the Dev Forum is restricted to development work; this may include Kernels, Root tools, ROMS, and other device developments. If you have a question about a ROM or the device, please post in the Q&A forum, so that the question may be answered correctly.
2. Arguments and Flaming.This really speaks for itself, but bears saying again. Be respectful, and be a community; work together and make this a place that is welcoming to everyone, new and old. If an argument starts, DO NOT participate in it. You have a "Report Post" button. Use it. Let the Mod's take care of it. You are not moderators, so please don't act like it. You don't make anything better by participating, and you may find yourself in trouble as well.
3. Please take a moment to search before posting; forums for popular devices can get hectic, and it is only made worse by having 5 different threads on the same topic. While mistakes happen, we need everyone's help to make sure that the boards are readable and usable for everyone. Odds are, if you have a problem, you are not the first person to have had the issue; you may very well find the solution already discussed. If a thread covering your topic is already there, please keep the discussion in that thread.
4. We are all here to help the users, and to mainly help continue the development of the devices. This is a Development site, not Facebook or other social networking sites. While some off topic banter is to be expected, please keep off topic conversations in the appropriate area; this is especially true for development threads. Too much OT makes threads hard to use for people with real issues/suggestions/questions
